West Ham, Newham: Healthcare

Healthcare in West Ham is workable, but you'll find most services are just outside the neighbourhood. There's only 1 GP surgery and 1 clinic actually within West Ham itself — that's quite limited for such a densely populated area. You'll need to travel to neighbouring areas for most of your appointments. Pharmacies are the bright spot here. You've got 3 in the neighbourhood and 10 more within easy reach, so that's well covered. Dentists are trickier. There are none within West Ham, so you'll be heading elsewhere for dental care. NHS dentist availability is already tight across East London, so finding and registering with a local NHS dentist will take some time and effort.
